placid bp vs bp HD?

yammy1688 · 14th August 2011, 05:32 PM

Would worthwhile sonic improvements be had for a pair of IVYs by upgrading to these?

I bought a HD for another project but it looks quite different from the regular placid BP and I was contemplating upgrading my IVY supplies. I'm not sure if any tangible sonic improvements could be had by doing so however?

Any experiences/thoughts?

Thanks,

-Ken

Anybody? I'm sure some of you have tried the new HD's by now?

The main reason for the change to Placid HD was higher output current. If you don;t need it, I would just stick with what you have.
